| 1 | Tumor cyclooxygenase-2 levels correlate with tumor invasiveness in human hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM: Recent studies suggested that cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2) enhances tumor angiogenesis via upregulationof vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). AlthoughCOX-2 expression has been demonstrated in hepatocellularcarcinoma (HCC), the significance of COX-2 in progressionof HCC remains unclear. This study evaluated the clinico-pathological correlation of COX-2 level and its relationshipwith VEGF level in HCC.METHODS: Fresh tumor tissues were obtained from 100patients who underwent resection of HCC. COX-2 proteinexpression was examined by immunohistochemistry, andquantitatively by an enzyme immunometric assay (EIA)of tumor cytosolic COX-2 levels. Tumor cytosolic VEGFlevels were measured by an ELISA.RESULTS: Immunostaining showed expression of COX-2in tumor cells. Tumor cytosolic COX-2 levels correlatedwith VEGF levels (r = 0.469, P<0.001). Correlation withclinicopathological features showed significantly highertumor cytosolic COX-2 levels in the presence of multipletumors (P = 0.027), venous invasion (P = 0.030),microsatellite lesions (P = 0.037) and advanced tumorstage (P = 0.008). Higher tumor cytosolic COX-2 levelswere associated with worse patient survival.CONCLUSION: This study shows that elevated tumorCOX-2 levels correlate with elevated VEGF levels andinvasiveness in HCC, suggesting that COX-2 plays a significantrole in the progression of HCC. | TerenceC.Tang RonnieT.Poon CeciliaP.Lau Danxie SheungTatFan | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005，11，13： | 37 |
| 2 | Clinical significance of serum vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 levels in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the correlation between serum vascular cellular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) levels and clinicopathological features in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).METHODS: Ninety-six patients who underwent HCC resection were recruited in the study. Preoperative serum levels of soluble VCAM-1 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.RESULTS: Serum VCAM-1 level in HCC patients was inversely correlated with platelet count (r=-0.431,P<0.001)and serum albumin level (r=-0.279, P<0.001), and positively correlated with serum bilirubin level (r=-0.379, P<0.001).Serum VCAM-1 level was not associated with tumor characteristics such as tumor size, venous invasion,presence of microsatellite nodules, tumor grade and tumor stage. Serum VCAM-1 level was significantly higher in HCC patients with cirrhosis compared with those without cirrhosis (median 704 vs 546 ng/mL, P<0.001). Furthermore, a significantly better disease-free survival was observed in HCC patients with low VCAM-1 level (P=0.019).CONCLUSION: Serum VCAM-1 level appears to reflect the severity of underlying chronic liver disease rather than the tumor status in HCC patients, and low preoperative serum VCAM-1 level is predictive of better disease-free survival after surgery. | JoannaW.Ho RonnieT.Poon CindyS.Tong SheungTatFan | 2004 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2004，10，14： | 6 |
